Kristofer McDavid charged with Carmon Boyd's murder

SWANSEA, Ill. (KSDK) -- Murder charges have been filed against a 37-year-old man for the death of Carmen Boyd.

Kristofer M. McDavid has been charged with first-degree murder.

The woman was found in a second-floor apartment in the 200 block of Marcella around 10:30 a.m. Friday. Major Case Squad Deputy Commander and O'Fallon Police Capt. Jeff Wild said a landlord discovered the body of 50-year-old Carmen Boyd late Friday morning.

Sources tell NewsChannel 5 the body of a woman was found on the bedroom floor with a cut wound on her neck.

Neighbors said the woman had lived alone in the apartment for about a year.

On his Facebook page McDavid describes himself as a god fearing man who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks.

And the day before he's accused of murdering Boyd he wrote a post that read in part, "give a smile. The difference we... want to see in life starts with us, so spread sum luv n happiness today."
